EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from a carved dish bearing the mark of Xuande, dating back to the 15th century. The dish, crafted with exquisite artistry by the Chinese School, is displayed at the renowned Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The intricate carving on this red lacquered wooden dish depicts an array of delicate and vibrant flowers. Amongst them are gardenias, peonies, chrysanthemums, waterweeds, cherry blossoms, plates, peaches, prunus trees (also known as plum or apricot), camelias and lotuses. Each flower symbolizes different meanings in Chinese culture; for instance, lotus represents purity and enlightenment while peony signifies wealth and prosperity. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable - every petal seems alive with movement and grace. The artist's skillful use of relief technique adds depth and dimension to each flower motif. This stunning piece not only reflects the artistic mastery of its creator but also provides insight into the rich cultural heritage of China during the 15th century. As we gaze upon this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate the beauty that has transcended centuries. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our eternal quest for artistic expression.
